Key Review Excerpts

The PT and OT staff?? Amazing!!! This place rocked my rehab!

Rehab patient · 2022☆☆☆☆

The facility is the best in our area for someone on a ventilator! We still have a long road to recover but I rest easy knowing Steve is in such good hands.

Long-term resident's family · 2023★★★★★

They let my grandpa sit in soil for almost 2hrs after we asked for him to be changed, he ended up with a massive wound, they weren’t turning him every 2-4 hrs like they’re supposed to.
